But you seem to have full confidence that only a very small majority pirate not from choice but from the whim of it. We just have to agree to disagree, it's sad really, that you believe the majority of pirates are good honest people. I am a member of a psp homebrew forum and I have seen thousands of people just coming in to hack to play pirated psp games. I guess they just bought a PSP for the hell of it and to not buy any games? I guess they only had enough money to buy a PSP so they have no choice but to pirate. I mean if they don't intend to buy games anyway then why buy the system? Because they are greedy and don't want to pay for the games. It's a very simple concept and instead of trying to belittle others try to actually realize that a large majority of pirates choose to pirate because they can and not because they have to.

Actually the fact that the US has the least rate of piracy, along with many other modern countries, while the 3rd world ones have the largest rates, shows that people with money pirate less. Just as Kasz said.

That's absolutely right. If people can buy something that they like they will. I think the fact that you get something "officially" makes it more worth it in the long run. That's good for the conscience and peace of mind of at least honest people. But when you can't, well, you can't. When I videogame is worth half your monthly pay, something is wrong.
